I'm sure there is a way to get at the hashtable used by the templates though
and lookup the value. I'm not sure how this would work with an <html:img>
tag without using scriptlets, but you could at least get at them using
scriptlets as a first pass.
Check out the diagram at:

information on how the template architecture works.
